One crossover, two alternate histories, and two alternate realities.Notes: Hell with it, I don't even know how to deal with this show right now, but I had this stuff written...

Title: Torchwood and Doctor Who SnippetsRating: PG-13 for language and sexual themes.Notes: So, I cleaned out my LJ the other day (I clean when I'm nervous) and found a whole bunch of old fic snippets I'd never got round to doing anything with. I thought I might as well archive them here. These aren't going to go any further, I think, but they were fun to write and I may as well share them, eh? Warnings: None.

Title: Harry Potter SnippetsRating: No more than PG.Warnings: None.Notes: So, I cleaned out my LJ the other day (I clean when I'm nervous) and found a whole bunch of old fic snippets I'd never got round to doing anything with. I thought I might as well archive them here. These aren't going to go any further, I think, but they were fun to write and I may as well share them, eh?

Summary: Sometimes even fictions need guardian angels.kungfooqueen did a meme a while back where she advised people to draw or write a shameless Mary Sue self-insertion fic. This isn't quite a self-insertion, it's more meta, but I had fun with it :DWarnings: None.

Title: Heroes SnippetsRating: No more than PG-13, only for swearing.Warnings: None.Notes: So, I cleaned out my LJ the other day (I clean when I'm nervous) and found a whole bunch of old fic snippets I'd never got round to doing anything with.

Here are the collected Drabbles from yesterday's meme. :) There's one original fic and one "Ellis" fic, three Potter fics, two Discworld fics, two Lord Peter fics, three Housefics, and three crossovers.

These drabbles are from a meme that was posted originally on February 19th, 2006.

In the meme, I asked people to visit The Invisible Library (link now defunct) and suggest a "nonexistent book" from the records there, which I would then write an excerpt from. They're filed here in an organised fashion and will eventually be available in PDF format.

With some exceptions, these drabbles are sorted by the genre of the book they can be found in -- thus, for example, one Sherlock Holmes drabble is in with the Sandman comics while another is in with the Mystery books. The LJ Username in front of each drabble signifies the person who requested it.

Some drabbles have been tweaked slightly since their original posting. This is Part I, containing Harry Potter, Terry Pratchett, Neil Gaiman, Mystery, Horror, Literary, and Ellis Graveworthy. Part II contains Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Satire.

All right, here are the final, finished products from the Charity Flopsyfest I ran on copperbadge from December 16 - 21, 2006. The short fics are interspersed with "drawbles", brief sketches offered by waccawheels and celestialsoda on a limited-request basis. Please don't use the artwork without permission!

These fics range in rating from G to R.

Warnings: Light bondage.

Enjoy! And thank you to everyone who participated and made someone's midwinter a little brighter. :)

These flopsies were written as part of a charity fundraiser for the Las Cruces Reptile Rescue. The fandoms include Harry Potter, Ouran Host Club, Discworld/Good Omens, CSI, Sherlock Holmes, Peter Wimsey, Classical History, Black Books, and House. Specifically they contain spoilers for the end of Going Postal; they also contain some writings by Ellis Graveworthy, for the CC fans amongst you. :D

On Storytelling:

Fanfiction is a way of the culture repairing the damage done in a system where contemporary myths are owned by corporations instead of owned by folk.-- Henry Jenkins

Life is very short. We die on the march. But there is nothing outside the march so nothing can be lost to it. The missing plays of Sophocles will turn up piece by piece, or be written again in another language.-- Tom Stoppard

Life does not cease to be funny when people die any more than it ceases to be serious when people laugh.-- G. Bernard Shaw

A good story should provoke discussion, debate, argument...and the occasional bar fight.-- J. Michael Strazynski

Here's how to become a great artist. First, get miserable. Misery drives you to become a great artist, but the art does nothing for your misery, which drives you to drugs, which makes you a lousy artist.-- House M.D.

Humans? They're long gone. Vanished. Extinct. They only exist in stories.-- Ferngully

Anton Chekov, who was a doctor, said, "Medicine is my wife; writing is my mistress."

The recipe for becoming a good novelist is easy to give, but to carry it out presupposes qualities one is accustomed to overlook. One has only to make a hundred or so sketches for novels, none longer than two pages but of such distinctness that every word in them is necessary. One should write down anecdotes every day until one has learnt how to give them the most pregnant and effective form; one should be tireless in collecting and describing human types and characters; one should above all relate things to others and listen to others relate, keeping one's eyes and ears open for the effect produced on those present, one should travel like a landscape painter or costume designer. One should, finally, reflect on the motives of human actions, disdain no signpost for instruction about them and be a collector of these things by day and night. One should continue in this many-sided exercise for some ten years; what is then created in the workshop will be fit to go out into the world.-- Nietzsche

The thief. Once committed beyond a certain point he should not worry himself too much. Thieving is God's message to him. Let him try and be a good thief.-- Samuel Butler

What is written without effort is generally read without pleasure.-- Samuel Johnson

Same story, different versions, and all are true.-- POTC: Dead Man's Chest

Every archaeologist knows in his heart why he digs. He digs, in pity and humility, that the dead may live again, that what is past may not be forever lost, that something may be salvaged from the wrack of the ages.-- From "The Testimony of the Spade"

Reading maketh a full man; conference a ready man; and writing an exact man.-- Francis Bacon

It is better, of course, to know useless things than to know nothing.-- Seneca epistles 88 45

When asked how she acquired her knowledge of science, Octavia Butler replied, "I read."
